Rich and chocolaty, topped with cream and berries….. This sinfully easy, sweet, and romantic dessert is perfect for Valentine’s Day, but I could eat it every day. Like, for the rest of my life. In fact, I think I’m going to stock up on chocolate and do just that. You?

Grease four ramekins (individual serving size oven-safe custard or souffle cups). Melt butter and chocolate in a small pan and set aside to cool. Meanwhile, combine eggs, egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, and instant coffee in a bowl.

Using an electric mixer, beat egg mixture for about five minutes, until it thickens. Add flour and melted chocolate/butter; stir to combine. Pour batter into baking dishes.

Bake immediately, or if you’re preparing ahead, cover the dishes with plastic wrap and refrigerate to bake and serve warm later. (If refrigerated, let the dishes come to room temperature before baking.)

Preheat oven to 400-degrees. Bake for 10 minutes. If you stick a toothpick in the middle, it’ll look like it’s not done. Take it out anyway. It’s all that melted chocolate ERUPTING LIKE LAVA. Okay, not really, but it does make it gooey. And it will not leave your home coated in volcanic ash, so it’s all good. Let cakes cool for five minutes. Slide a knife around each cake and invert onto dessert plates.

How beautiful are these strawberries? I love strawberries…..

Oh, back to the cakes…. Load on the whipped cream and sliced berries! Think of all the calcium and…you know, some kind of other vitamins. This is practically health food. This is why you could eat it every day. Plus, it’s soooo good. In fact, I’m heading back to the kitchen. I gotta make more Chocolate Lava Cakes. You know, for my health.

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die."Keep reading our story....

I ordered pepperoni rolls last year for a friend's birthday and they werea big hit! mgwolson on The Pepperoni Roll Rush

This is an excellent recipe, and I made these this evening. Its not mentioned here explicitly, but I heated my oil to about 325 deg F before adding the hush puppies. I then fried them about 2 minutes before flipping them over for another 2 minutes until they were a proper brown color. The crispiness of these hush puppies are unmatched and I would recommend this recipe to anyone.Bobby Hill on Hush Puppy Heaven
